To say that Italian cuisine has slowly become a facet of American culture as a whole would be an understatement. It has seeped its way in via dishes that are now considered classics. For example, the New York Pizza or hoagies all have their origins somewhere in Italy.
Italian culture has very much shaped the food tastes of Americans as a whole.
